Why Idaho Hunters Choose This

Coyote predation is a serious economic issue for Idaho ranchers and livestock operators. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game lists coyotes as unprotected predators with no closed season and no bag limit — which means your RDB Defender can run year-round protecting calves, lambs, and chickens from the high desert to the mountain valleys.

The Kel-Tec RDB’s bullpup design packs a full 16-inch barrel into a 27.5-inch overall length — shorter than a standard carbine while delivering the same velocity and accuracy. The downward brass ejection makes it genuinely ambidextrous, with no cases flying into your face or the face of a partner in the blind. The chrome-lined barrel handles the sustained fire that a productive coyote stand demands.

The 5.56 NATO chambering provides flat trajectory, minimal drop at 200+ yards, and fast, humane kills on coyote-sized predators. Running 55-grain V-MAX or 62-grain Fusion loads, the RDB delivers the performance varmint hunters demand in a package that rides easily in a truck cab or ATV rack — both essential requirements for the Idaho predator caller.

Idaho Hunting & Shooting Culture

Idaho is one of the most firearm-friendly states in the nation — constitutional carry with no permit required, no assault weapon restrictions, suppressor ownership allowed with ATF approval, and some of the best hunting in the lower 48. Mule deer, whitetail, elk, black bear, mountain lion, moose, turkey, pheasant, chukar, Hungarian partridge, waterfowl, and world-class predator opportunities make Idaho a destination for serious hunters. Idaho Gun Shop stocks firearms selected specifically for Idaho’s seasons, terrain, and hunting culture.
